Data & AI Strategy Advisory · Malaysia & SEA
See competitive threats before they hit your outlets. Nomis connects competitor activity, location exposure, loyalty economics and customer behaviour to show which of your stores are exposed — and what to do before it shows in the numbers.
Four capabilities. One commercial journey. The output: here are the customers being pulled away, here is what the market is offering them, and here is what it would take to keep them.
The Gap
Where are we exposed?
Knowing a competitor is promoting is not the same as knowing it threatens your specific outlets.
Competitive Intelligence & Location InsightsWhere are we losing the customer proposition?
Two loyalty programmes can look identical on paper and land completely differently with a member.
Loyalty ScoringWho and what revenue should we defend?
A high-risk store means little on its own. The question is which customers, worth how much, are inside that exposure.
Customer DiagnosticWhat We Do
One underlying intelligence capability. Four deployable modules.
Market · What is happening?
What it is
A single weekly view of everything competitors are doing in public — paid advertising, social activity, pricing and promotions, review sentiment, and expansion signals — across every named competitor you track.
"A competitor's price move only helps you if you see it while the window to respond is still open."
How it drives decisions
Each capability delivers value on its own. Combined with the others, it answers a bigger question.
Scope: Promotions inside closed platforms sit outside current coverage — flagged as a known gap, not assumed away.
Exposure · Where does it matter?
What it is
A location analytics engine that scores every outlet on real competitive exposure — how many competitor stores sit nearby, how close, and what they are actively promoting right now.
"A competitor two minutes away mid-promotion is a different threat to one five kilometres away with nothing live."
How it drives decisions
Each capability delivers value on its own. Combined with the others, it answers a bigger question.
Basis: Exposure scores built on real computed distance data, refreshed as outlet and competitor footprints change.
Programme · How competitive is our proposition?
What it is
An independent benchmark of your loyalty programme against the major programmes competing for the same customer — value returned per Ringgit spent, clarity, generosity in early visits, and digital experience.
"Two programmes can look identical on paper and land completely differently with a member."
How it drives decisions
Each capability delivers value on its own. Combined with the others, it answers a bigger question.
Scope: Benchmarks the publicly visible promised experience. Calibrated to Malaysia; other SEA markets need their own benchmark.
Customer impact · Who is affected and what revenue is exposed?
What it is
The connector that applies the same rigour to your own transaction and membership data — segmenting customers into lifecycle states and overlaying competitive exposure onto each segment.
"Knowing which members, worth how much, sit inside that exposure is what makes a finding actionable."
How it drives decisions
Each capability delivers value on its own. Combined with the others, it answers a bigger question.
Status: Built and demonstrated on illustrative data. Applying it to your numbers is a short, scoped pilot.
What You Get
A small sample of what the intelligence looks like in practice — based on a hypothetical multi-outlet F&B operator in Malaysia. Each module produces significantly more depth than shown here. Outputs are tailored to your competitive set, your outlets, and your market.
Location Insights
Outlet Exposure Index
Which outlets face the most concentrated competitor activity right now — scored by proximity, floor, and active promotion.
| Outlet | Exposure | Competitors nearby | Primary threat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Suria KLCC | HIGH | 5 within same venue | Brand A · Active promotion |
| Pavilion Bukit Jalil | HIGH | 3 same floor | Brand B · Tracked promotion |
| Mid Valley | MEDIUM | 2 within 5 min walk | Brand C |
| Setia City Mall | MEDIUM | 2 within 5 min walk | Brand D |
| Sunway Pyramid | LOW | 1 — different zone | None active |
Exposure score: distance + active promotion + competitor count. Refreshed weekly.
Loyalty Scoring
Programme Benchmark
Your loyalty programme scored against the major competing programmes — on the dimensions members actually use to decide where to go back.
Biggest gap identified
Redemption value: your programme returns measurably less per Ringgit spent than the leading competitor. Closing this gap is the highest-leverage structural change available.
Scored across a range of dimensions including (but not limited to): earn rate · redemption value · early-visit generosity · digital experience · member feedback · tiering structure · partner offers · clarity of proposition.
Customer Diagnostic
Revenue at Risk
Competitive exposure mapped onto your actual customer base — showing which segments, worth how much, sit inside the highest-pressure outlets.
Habitual regulars — frequency at risk
4,100 members · RM 890k revenue · visiting competitor-dense outlets 4×/week
Occasional loyalists — loyalty gap exposed
6,800 members · RM 1.1m revenue · low redemption rate, competitor running earn bonus
New joiners — conversion risk
3,300 members · RM 410k revenue · within 90 days, competitor running new-member acquisition offer nearby
Applied to your transaction and membership data. Short scoped pilot to implement.
Competitive Intelligence
Competitor Brand Index
How your key competitors look across the channels that drive customer acquisition — paid search, paid social, organic reach, and digital footprint.
Paid Ad Presence — Meta & Google
| Brand | Outlets | Meta Ads | Google Ads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brand A | 602 | ● Active · 16+ creatives | ● Active · 41 ads |
| Brand B | 648 | ● Active · 2 fronts | ● Active · 12 ads |
| Brand C | 105 | ● Active · 4 ads | ● Active · 8 ads |
| Brand D | 141 | ● Active · 1 campaign | ● Active · 5 ads |
| Brand E | 188 | ○ None found | ○ None found |
| Brand F | 133 | ○ None found | ○ None found |
Four of six tracked competitors are running active Google Ads — a shift from the Meta-only pattern seen earlier in 2026. Brand A maintains the widest platform spread.
Organic Social Reach — Instagram followers
Brand A added an estimated 12k followers across Meta platforms in the past 30 days — the fastest-growing organic presence in the tracked set. Brand D increased posting frequency by 40% over the same period, coinciding with a new outlet opening campaign.
These four panels illustrate a fraction of what each module covers. A full engagement goes considerably deeper — across more competitors, more outlets, more customer segments, and more decision points than any sample can show.

Why Nomis
Founded by Simon Samuel — former senior analytics leader with two decades of experience in customer analytics, loyalty and AI across global consumer businesses.
Most F&B operators in Malaysia and Southeast Asia face the same gap. The insight they need exists — in market signals, customer behaviour, loyalty economics — but accessing it has always meant a choice between three imperfect options: a SaaS tool that is rigid and generic, a consulting engagement that is expensive and episodic, or building internal capability that takes years and carries real execution risk.
Nomis Analytics is none of those things. It is a modular intelligence practice — built on two decades of B2C analytics across global retail and loyalty markets, and eight years working specifically in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. The capabilities are pre-built, field-validated, and deployed as a supported service: configurable to your competitive set, your outlets, your customer base, and your market.
You get depth of insight that reflects genuine vertical and country expertise — not a generic platform applied to your category. And you get it without the fixed costs, the long procurement cycles, or the risk of a capability build that outlasts the business problem it was designed for.
How It Fits Together
Each capability is a complete, usable product on its own. You can start with one and get immediate value. But combined, they produce a single commercial journey: from market signals to the specific customers and revenue at risk — and the action required to protect it.
Market
Competitive Intelligence
What competitors are doing, promoting, and where they are expanding — captured weekly.
Exposure
Location Insights
Which of your outlets are in the direct path of those moves — scored by proximity and active promotion.
Programme
Loyalty Scoring
Whether your loyalty offer is strong enough to hold those customers — versus what competitors are promising right now.
Action
Customer Diagnostic
Which specific customers — worth how much — sit inside that exposure. Named segments. Revenue at risk. A decision, not a report.
The output is not four separate reports. It is a single answer: here are the customers being pulled away, here is what the market is offering them, and here is what it would take to keep them.
